The Green Berets are the army’s spec ops that focus on training foreign fighters, specially chosen for things like foreign language proficiency. They’re not Rangers or general light infantry. Ideally they’re not really supposed to get into direct combat, as they’re rather time consuming and difficult to replace.
I would bet a whole bunch of money that we actually do have Green Berets present in Ukraine as well, though the only people that would know that for sure would be the US govt, the Ukrainians and probably Russian intelligence.
If the 101st Airborne gets deployed to Taiwan, then I’d be worried.
Green Berets are just as worrying. It means US is training locals, preparing for yet another proxy war or brutal crackdown on any real or potential opposition against place being subjugated to US empire.
It doesn’t. The vast majority of countries recognize the PRC having sovereignty over Taiwan, as does the UN. There is no right to separatism or anything like that. Rather the PRC has the right to enforce their sovereignty. The US btw has no right to send to troops into China, that’s an act of war.
If you are talking about the President of Taiwan, are you comparing a role that’s existed since 1 January 1912 (25 October 1945 in its current form) to one that existed 18 February 1861 – 5 May 1865 and had exactly one officeholder?

Taiwan has a right to defend itself if it chooses to.
With US troops?
Ukraine has a right to defend itself, but US troops are not deployed in Ukraine.
I’m talking about Taiwan, but Ukrainians are defending themselves with American weapons, intelligence and training.
I believe it was released that there are 14 special force members in Ukraine as well.

If they didn’t want them, they could just ask them to leave. If the leader disagreed, the people could vote for a different leader.
How’d that work out for Australia and Gough Whitlam trying to close Pine Gap?

There is no morality to statehood - just cost-benefit analysis
Is the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party the same person as the President of Taiwan, then?
